[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] My DS has an IQ in the gifted range. If there are 3 million in his grade year so do 60,000 others his age. My kid even has a Quantitative Reasoning score in the 99.9th percentile. So do thousands of other kids in his year group. That is not what makes a difference. So I do think it’s the practice that makes a difference. . [/quote] If there are 3 million kids in your DS' grade year, then 3000 of them are in the 99.9th percentile. But 300 of those are in the 99.99th percentile, which is actually significantly above the 99.9th percentile. On top of that, Mathcounts includes 6th-8th graders, meaning there's a larger pool of 99.99th percentile kids. Only 56 kids make it on the national Mathcounts leaderboard last year. I doubt any of the kids in the top 50 aren't at least in the 99th percentile. Many of them are probably in the 99.9th percentile or higher in math. [/quote]
